WHAT I LOST BY KISSING KATE There was Lizzie, Kate and Mary, All three beautiful and young; But the name of Mary ever Lingered longest on my tongue, And I hopes in secret cherished Ufa home where she was queen, But one day those sweet hopes perished, And left life a desert scene. They and I were once together,. Fro!icing beneath the moon, In the midst of mildest weather— In the odorous month of June, And sweet Mary said, "Since kisses In the moonlight lime are due, I would take this best of hlisses From Kate's lips, if I were you." Scarcely bad the thought been spoken, Ere, w WI heart and eye elate, I had claimed the honied token From the rosy lips of Kate. But, slack! in thus obeying, I had made a sad mistake ; For in heart the girl was saying, "Kate will lose w hat I shall take." "Koos KAT* I" that is what she told me; But its meaning was—Kiss we? Oh, vain heart ! and oh I eyes silly, Thns to fail the truth - to see! So we parted—l a ith sorrow. She with scorn, perhaps, with hate ; And my heart grows sad by knowing What lost by kissing Kate. sdeci !impressive Words of Gra. !Yields A volunteer in the Mexican war, wri• ting from Baltimore to the Nutional In telligencer, says : , May I aslia small space in the col umns of your paper for the Ott-pose of laying before it, readers the few words that escaped the lips of lieu.

They were these; en,.l am of no further use to my country! You are. Lay me down and lot me die ; I might as well die here as to be taken off to die. You are all ; strong, able bodied men, able to do 'your country some service. For God's sake lay me down and go and do your duty." TIPP •luaMewil. A venerableVd man says : "Let the slandered take comfort,--it is only at fruit trees that thieves throw stones." The old man is right. Who ever saw thieves throw stones at the bireli,.ma ple, or elm-tree? The more fruit the tree bears, and the richer it is, the more it is likely to attract the attention of the thief. No man that tries to do his duty to his fellows, and endeavors to live to bear - the fruits of true religion in his daily conduct, can for a moment sup pose that he will pass along through life without being slandered more or less. Such a man will of necessity have some enemies ; and thou) enemies will try in every way to injure him, and, among others, they will not be slow in stirring up the polluted waters of de famation and slander. A man who has no enemies is merely a milk-and-water nothing. Wo would not give three figs for sock a man. He who is anything, who makes his mark in fhe world, who does good, will have enemies • and, if he havo them, he' will be.sure t o be slandered. fitisessea *..du Witimat r..d. Death.—!l rs. Jlayes, of the town of Day, Saratoga county, whose case we detailed some time since, and who had lived nineteen months without food or drink, has expired. She remained in sensibieifur fifteen months of the period, and up to a few days of her death, when she seemed to revive and spoke occa sionally. After her death . - her body was opened and a snake five feet luug and half an inch thick was taken from her stomach. It was alive when re moved, Lut died soon after. The case is a very remarkable one, and it is to be regretted that it was not subjected to scientific examination, but the loca tion was unfavorable to that. An Election!

"TRUTH IS MIGHTY, AND WILL PREVAIL." Am liairiarat et doe Revidetlost. A circumstance occured during the gloomy winter of 1776-7, which has not found its way into histories, but which WO copy from a late number of the Dem ocratic Reriea'. It was one among the many during the Revolution, which np peered to be providential allotments in our favor. The writer received the no count of it from a son of Richard :11. Lee, and from Francis Lightfoot If°. Wlio were members of Congresa,i in Philadelphia, at the time. These o..en tlemen were accustomed to mention it ass providential interference in behalf of their country. . ; " When Genera; Washington was re treating through the Jerseys in t he winter of 1776-7 and had crossed the Delaware, his lead and bullets had near ly failed, and ho would be unable, with out a considerable supply, to make the brilliant and successful movements which recovered New Jersey, and le inspired the country with new hope and confidence in their Commander-in-chief. In this darkest hour of the war, Con gress had made every effort to sup Ply the so-much-needed article. All to lead that could he found in public vied private places had. been obtainedi— Lead pipes had been melted and the plates torn from the roofs of houses ; but still a small quantity only could be obtained. Just then in the dam kest mo ment of despondency, Robert Morris, who had been called - the " financier"iof the Revolution and whose extensive credit and mercantile transactions in Europe, and whose unflinching devotibn to his country, has luiil that country under never.ceasing obligations, tie ceived a letter from ono of his ships which had escaped British cruisers, in forming hint that the vessel was within the capes, and would reach Philadelphia at such a time, and ;nos tallasW with lead, amounting to a very large quantity. This letter the patriot e Morris—for such we delight to call li'u —received late in the (fay. and aftcr Congress had'adjourneil. He .ioyously iiifortned the members lie could see hb b,re morning. Early the next mOrnin', I t Morris andmany members repaired 0 the waif anxiously looking out fur t e expected vessel. Fur some time she did not appear. The members repaired to the hall with saddened eountenaneeS, and uo the assetn'eing of the Roust., the letter of Morris was read and the looked-fOr supply was eagerly expected. Morris wilt too anxious to remain in his seat in the house-, he returned ro the wharf, straining his eye down the river. At length the goodly vessel heaves in sight and her owner recog nites the stars and stripes. Tito news spreads rapidly through the city and reaches Congress, a scene of joyful emotion instantly succeeds and the hearts of these glorious beloved men send up to Heaven theirgrateful thanks giving for the relief about to be received iu the hour of despair. The ship arrived ballasted with lead, which the Captain of his own apparent will, (but as our fathers rationally 14- ously believed, by the loadings of a • good Providence.) had for the first ante resolved to use fp. that purpose. By God's overruling providence, the yes,- i sot escapes the perils of storm and cap ture ; arrives at tfie exigent moment ; • a large supply' of lead is immediately obtained'; our great Commander re 7 crosses the Delaware and saves oar countrv.—Lattr Dee." 1 Strangeor Not 1"--Wo are informed that the people of the town of Bristo4 up the Delaware, fbr many years re fused to establish a Ore engine company, and they'were stmost wholly exempt from casualties by fire. man evil hour however, such a 'company sae at last organized, when their troubles bean by almcrit a nightly alarm of fire. Thd annoyance eventually became so great that, in their indignation, the peopin rose and extirtgaished the company, and with it there were no more fires to ex. tlnguish.

Darold King Lear, in the play, when he was out in the storm, said in apos trophe to the rain, wind, thunder and lightning: " You owe me no subscription."

Rendolph,•who lost his life in the Columbia fire several months ago, quotes the following extract, of a letter lately received from his native place : " Captain Rudolph was a near relit-- tircuf Marshal Ney, of Waterloo noto riety. You are aware that Napoleon selected his officers from. the bravest men of the ranks; and as Ney's earlier history has never been published, it may not generally ,be known that his real name was Michael Rudolph.

The French Minister at one time made the family a visit in remembrance of the above facts." 111== A Devoted wire. Referring to the recent death of ('ol. Wytilzoop, by 14ie accidental discharge of a gun, in the bonds of his servant, a correspondent °Nile Boston Post gives the following affecting incident: Colonel Wvnkoop, of Pennsylvania, led into the Add' of Mexico a regiment second in point of discipline to no regi ment of volunteers, except perhaps Breckinridge's Kentuckians. H e was distinguished in many engagements; be captured General Valencia and staff; and at the (Anse of the war, he returned to his home with laurels. He is now dead. The circinmstnnces are familiar. With his wife who k an invalid, he was visiting the interior of Pennsylvania forruereation and change of scene. The country is wild there, and sparely set. tied. One morning he went out with his servant to shoot game for his wife. In banding him the gun, the servant h . ‘ - aeeident discharged it; the contents took . i:ffect in his leg, severed the artery, and he lived but a few minutes. This has been told before. An absurd stiperstitian prevails among the ignorant inhabitants of the region, against touching a dead body before an inquest has set upon it. Tte servant had been sent nt once for aid to sonic distance, and in did Mrs. Wynkorip endeavor to itidnete—hy supplication— by promises, by otters of money—the stultified neighbors to shelter and care for liJr hashand's body. It was a dark night. lle still lay where he fell ; and there, in that howling wilderness,with the clammy dampness of midnight gath ering on her garments. did that delicate 116 frail es the wild flowers around her, that i'orded their petals to. in-that wowed solitnde, sit alone on the turf, supporting on her knee the head . of her litishand ; awl there re mainesl keeping Ifer lonely vigil until the breaking of the gray dawn, alone with her dead and with her bleeding heart' If the incident be a sad one, it be comes a season set apart to lessons and pledges of affection. log,Tho : way the little son of Louis Napoleon takes his airing is a show for any ono to see, though all may not re gard it in the sane way. lie rides iii a large coupe carriage, drawn by four liorses,comincted hy two postilions, and the tiara° holds hint tip at the window, that the people may see this really tine looking baby, Two,.liveried servants on horseback precede the carriage about two hundred yards, and are fol loweddq lialf•adoseri lancers, bearing, of couhie, the small uniform nag npou each lance, as if tb amuse the young ster.

She said that two men, with blackened 'bees had f)rced open the kitchen door, tied her, &e., and had then ransacked the homy ; and a . gold watch was missing. The girl afterwards acknowledged that, in handling the watch, she broke the crystal, and, for fear of being repri manded, she had tied herself up, burn ed her clothes, and hid the watch, and concocted the story about the things; and proved it by pro,clueing the wutch from a corner where she had secret ed it.

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR A Optrited Sr•Oaa. A paragraph has been goltig the rounds of the press to the of that a married lady of Dover, Delaware, met a gentleman from the same place on the porch of » hotel in Smyrna, a ai l 6ri time since, and c•owhided him severely. It was not stated what the provocation was, which induced the lady to pursue such a bold method of redresa ; but a correspondent of the Philadelphia Pmes writing from Sniyroa, the following full and interesting details of the "affair," which, ho says, created a great deal of conversation, specula tion and excitement in " the little Dia mond State :" At Dover there lives a gentleman of very considerable fortune, A man of unblemished integrity, a ripe scholar, and barring his eccentrieitr, a very pleasant and useful citizen. Ho is blest with an excellent wife and several In teresting little children. Throughout this gentleman's life, it has been his misfortune, greatly to the regret of his numerous friends, to got on what is culled " a frolie," but which, in his case, (as ho never dune anything by halves, ) may more properly, though perhaps loss elegantly, be styled "a regular bu.t." ,Of lute years his delinquencies in this respect have been less frequent, and his friends have had sanguine hopes that lie had resolved to break the.dev il's head with a bottle, and never make 1140 of one again. It seems, however, that a fiend in the cloak of a friend, per suaded hint to do otherwise, and that on various occasions lately, tho tempter succeeded in introducing an enemy into the genlleinun's head to, steal away his brains. At length the gentleman's wife, mor tified and di,tressed, called upon her husband's friend (?) and as nearly as I have been able to obtniu it, the fellow- ing dialogue tookaplace : believc,sir; you profess to be fiend of any husband, myself, and my children Friend.—l have that honor, madam. Lady.—flow then, sir, aloes it hap pen that you take pains to ruin him, mortify are, and disgrace my children, and !MAC us all very unhappy? Fric i a,—My gout madam, can you f o r at moment supposq that I could be guilty of such an enormity .oppose nothing. I know, sir i •that you are guilty us I charge you. Uniler your influence, persuasion and example, you have of lute frequently dec•oy - cd my husband from his home, and in your company -he has become drunk, and iat that condition, regardless of u but he owes to God, the communi- ty, and film family, Las done many things (fee ply painful to his friends, and souree of humiliation to him when sober. Yi.iend.—Really ma'am you magni fy trifles ; a harmless frolic now and then scarcely deberres such severe re proof. Lady.—Sir, you may consider drunk ennoss and its uttundaut depravities as trifles; I think very differently—an evil which changes a gentleman of re finement and education into a besotted, scr4eless, irresponsible being, is not a k trifle. My husband, outside of your in fluence and association; is' tree to him , self and the commnnity, admired 'for hk learning, honored for ',his integrity, and beloved by numerous friends for the kind_, generous manner in which he dispenses the pleasant anjenities'of so d . ' al life. I tell you, sir, your conduct has seriously impaired the happiness of myself and children., the object, of this visit is to voqiiest you to rei'irain from further intercourtie with you can do him no good; on the con trary, you do' us all. a great deal 'of harm.. regret, madam, that you hare so poor ati opinion of'mo. 7 doubt very math the propriety dreven a-lady making such a request as you mike. Lady.—On that question, sir, I have no doubt My mind Is made up; to me the path of duty is perfectly plain, and 11r:tend to pursue it. I called up on You with the hope that I might find In yoUr nature swan redeeming trait, and that, through its influence, yoti went] be induced to aid in saving my excellent husband from the ill effects of his only weakness. I perceive my er ror worse than I had anticipated. I now inform you, sir, that if hereafter, I find you in my husband's company, , inducing him to drink, I will talc° the' matict in my own hands, and rem ; (Ay the evil. Friend.—Miat would you do, mad am ? Lady.—Publicly horsewhip you, sir. Friend.----(foreing a very queer kind of laugh.) Triu would scarcely so far I forget what is due to the dignity and ; delicacy of your sex. in addition to which, public opinion— Lady.—Public opinion ! I respect public opinion, sir, only so far as it acts correctly. My first dutyis to my hus band—to protect big health and vindi cate his honor: If in 'doing this, it be comes necessary to publicly horsewhip a pretended friend, but a real enemy, I shall not stop to consult either the dig nity or delicacy of my sex.--That por tion of the public whose opinion is worth having will judge the act by the motive. I have not the least objec tion that it shall be told to my children when I am in-my grave, their father was saved by their mother pnblkly horsewhipping a heartless associate who would him* led him to destruction. I repeat, sir, that if I find you in the situutfon I have described, 1 will oboe tise you.

The thrashing was fierce in the extreme, and continued until the enraged man cast' her victim from her, exclaiming, " Now, sir, I've kept my word." She then moved towards her husband, and in a firm but respectful manner offered her arm, which lie took, and getting in to the carriage with her, accompanied her home. NO. 20. An affair so extraordinary, and hap pening among persons of high respeota bilil,F, has naturally created a great deal of talk, and has culled forth a va rioty of opinion'—somo of the eleracv sex thhik it, really awful, and a few of wishywashy, sentimental Lydia lan guishes of the neigh horhcmd, simper out a severe condemnation of the lady ; the better and more wholesome opinion, however, appeared to he, that a few such wives would redeem many husbands and save the temperance societies a great deal of trouble and expense.

A Congregational Church in a neigh boring State got so completely eulistld in the Presidentialtontest, fur Fre moot and Jessie, that little attention was given to religions questions. The min ister was constantly preaching, praying and exhorting upon political banes— and his deueoua awl the laymen tbllow ed suit at the prayer and conference_ meetings. Finally a worthy old farm er, one of the staunchest and best mem bers of thb church, and a firm umipvia- Ling Democrat, was called upon to offer rruyer. "0 Lord," said ho, "uphold the Demo eratie party, which ham received-'thy protecting supporfever sino3 the great Jeffersonian struggle. Continue to bless that party which.. has, under thy pro tection and providence, brought great blessings upon this Republic._ If it bo thy pleasure, and I believe it will be, 0 carry that party through thhistrug gle to a complete triumph. Bless Jas. ' Buchanan, the tiiod and honest states man, and guide him safely to the Presi ' dontial chair. Bless John C. Brecken rid,,,,re, the young and zealous Demberat, And open to him the path of duty as well as that which leads straight to the Vico Presidency. Give them victory. 0, bless the opponents of Democracy personally, but utterly destroy their fanatical and injurious schemes, if it bo thy will to do, as .I verily believe it is. Be on the side of the Democracy, 0 Lord, as thou bast boon for the past fifty-six years, and on the 4th of Mardi next we shall witness the inauguration of Pennsylvania's favorite son, And the people of this country will once more settle down in their peaceful pursuits, 'instead of warring wickedly, section agaiust section, iii terestagainst interest, 1 and man against his brother. And 0, ' I beseech thee, especially free the Christian Churebes from the political strife and bitterness which are rending 1 asunder, destroying their usefulness and turning them unhappily into more political associations. Let us hear something of thy word and' mercy on the Sabbath. •IV'e have already been plied to fullness with political fanati cism, and our minister has boaome a stump orator Against the good old par ty which thou in thy wisdom bast up hold so long, and sd repeatedly guided to victory, and sustained in the Wish ' lifihment of good measures. 0, turn his mind front these things, and direct his attention to his legitimate religious duties, or turn him over directly into the hands of the Federal or Abolition party, and let them take care of him, and provide us with a true minister of I the Gospel. At this rate time present state of things cannot lust. If politica are to rmile, I shall claim one half time time in behalf of the Democratic party, so that there may he a fair discussion within these walls !—Amen !" This wad a stamper. It was the first prayer ever publicly offered in that church for the success of the Democratic party and its nominees, though hun dreds of prayers and exhortations had been made against that party. When the old man had finished there was a al fence for half an hour, and the meeting; then adjoJrned. And thus ended tliu political preaching in that eharch.— From that time forward, the minister attended to his gospel duties, and left all political questions to be settled b e y the people outside of' the church. Atita the society prospered, and there was a betterfedinrapongitametnlmore Christian chanty—more brotherly love. The old man's earnest prayer wad &p -owered in more respects than one.— Hartford Times. tel?"11ron. S. S.
